A postpartum client asks a nurse how to promote father-infant attachment. The nurse should suggest that one of the best means to accomplish this would be for the father to:
Bathing the newborn is an excellent activity for involving the father with the infant and thus will promote father-infant attachment. Switching between bottle between bottle formula and breast-feedings is not recommended unless a medical indication exists. Letting the newborn sleep during parental interactions does not promote father-infant interaction or attachment. Helping the mother change the newborn's soiled diaper may secondarily promote father-infant attachment, but it is not as effective as bathing the newborn.
